Re: [emrat:13829] Tentative 2023 calendar, for review and input

Martin

I am aware of the difficulties putting an events calender together that accomodates everybody,l sure would not be able to do this under sane conditions!

Based on the above,is the September overnighter for Chama locked in or is there an alternative date that can be considered?Just asking because one of the BMAC members organizes the motorcycle catorgory for the Colorado Conclave and l did commit to helping increase the entry for the "Modern Triumph" catagory (only one bike entered in this for 2022!)

The date is Sept.17th ( which potentially clashes with the Chama ride) at Oak Park in Arvada,but l do not believe this has been confirmed yet.Will follow-up and let you know on this when l hear something.Thanks

Thanks Martin. My vote would be for the spring overnighter in April.

Thanks for organizing all of this, Martin. I have a pretty good idea how much trouble it is and we don't thank our leaders enough for what they do 👍

Re: [emrat:13825] Interesting news about motorcycle rallies

POP QUIZ. -- WHICH IS MOST DANGEROUS ?

(A). -- AN INTOXICATED HARLEY RIDER AT STURGIS,

(B). -- THE "MILLENIAL" DRIVING WHILE TEXTING HER (?) ENTIRE CONTACT LIST ENQUIRING WHAT GENDER THEY BELIEVE SHE (?) REALLY IS.

(C). -- BOTH

(D). -- NEITHER

The correct answer is "C"&"D" (IMO)

If a person is killed by either, your chance of checking out rises to 100%. If not, no matter how many close calls, you are statistically at zero. Motor on.

Myself, I would be more in danger at Sturgis taking in the sights and crashing and probably dominoeing 20 H.D.`s. (Click picture below)

Manny, I am the "Poster Boy" for bad decisions & questionable behaviour, (If you don`t believe me, just ask Kathy) but fate & good luck has kept

me going up to this minute, but that can change instantly. I hope fate & good luck is on the side of all you "Rat`s". But keep in mind, "It`s a Jungle out there"

It is worth noting that the 7 rallies cited are predominantly cruiser-style events rather than Beemer/Goldwing type rallies. The authors noted alcohol and helmet use played significant roles.
